Photos: Take a sneak peek of The Wharf before its October debut

After three years of construction District Wharf is set for its grand opening in Oct. 12 through 15.

The project redeveloped a mile of shoreline along the Potomac River and has re-imagined the District’s Southwest neighborhood. Nearly 2,000 residents will call The Wharf home. They’ll join office workers and visitors who’ll be able to shop, dine and enjoy the water.

Take a tour through the cobblestone streets and waterfront promenade before the complex opens.
